Tafsīr

قرآن حکیم (شرح آیات منتخب)also covers 41

شیطان نمی تواند کسی را مجبور کند

این دو آّیهء دلیل محکمی بر آزادی ارادةٌ انسان‌هاست» و این که ابلیس و لشکر او هرگز نمی‌توانند کسی را به فساد و تباهی مجبور کنند؛ بلکه کار آنها تنها تزیین گناه و فریب‌کاری و دعوت به شر و بدی است و تصمیم نهایی با خود انسان است. در واقع خداوند در این دو یه این پندار خام را که ابلیس تسلط کاملی بر انسان‌ها پیدا خواهد کرد از مغز او بیرون کرد.
